Buttes féodales du Vieil-Dampierre stands in Le Vieil-Dampierre (Marne), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Vieil-Dampierre site preserves feudal mounds, medieval earthworks that bear witness to local lordship during the Middle Ages. These raised embankments, registered as historical monuments, form the visible traces of an ancient fortification or seigniorial residence. The archaeological value of the site lies in understanding its spatial layout rather than in standing structures.

What to know

  • The site corresponds to specific cadastral plots (B 43 to 48, 31 to 35) within an agricultural landscape.
  • These are earthwork remains without visible built structures, requiring a primarily visual and archaeological approach.
  • The site was registered as a historical monument in 1937.
